Methods And Systems For A Voice Id Verification Database And Service In Social Networking And Commercial Business Transactions

Abstract

A method and system for voice identification and validation is provided. Other embodiments are disclosed. The system registers one or more users on a social media platform with login information during a social media session, acquires a voice sample at any time of the social media session or a continuation of the social media session, associates the login information and the voice sample in a profile for each of the one or more users, stores the profile as a voice print in a voice print identifier database, and identifies at least one talker from an interfacing of the social media platform with the voice print identifier database. Other embodiments are provided.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A system, comprising:
 a server that performs operations comprising:
 acquiring a first voice sample of a user and device-specific information associated with a first device utilized during a media session occurring on a media platform; 
 associating with the first voice sample and the device-specific information with a profile for the user; 
 storing the profile as a voice print in the system; 
 capturing a second voice sample of a talker in proximity to a second device of a different user; and 
 facilitating identification of the talker in proximity to the second device of the different user by comparing the second voice sample to first voice sample and the device-specific information in the voice print. 
   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise retrieving the profile of the voice print upon identifying the talker in proximity to the second device. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise accessing a social media associated with login information associated with the profile to facilitating the identification of the talker. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the operations further comprise searching the social media for an established connection to a voice print identifier database associated with the voice print stored in the system. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise corroborating the profile with social media to validate an identity of the talker. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise modifying an access control to the first device in response to detecting and verifying an identity of the talker. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the operation of modifying the access control further comprises changing and entering a login credential, changing and entering account information, changing and entering a device control, changing and entering a personal preference, or a combination thereof. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise accessing a contact list associated with the talker. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise narrowing a searching extent for confirming an identity of the talker by utilizing the contact list. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise prompting the user to provide the first voice sample during the media session. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the voice print includes a distillation of speech in the first voice sample that contains information associated with an identity of the user. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise identifying the talker based on a characteristic of a voice of the talker included in the second sample. 
     
     
         13 . A method, comprising:
 acquiring a first voice sample of a user and device-specific information associated with a first device utilized during a media session occurring on a media platform;   associating with the first voice sample and the device-specific information with a profile for the user;   storing the profile as a voice print in the system;   capturing a second voice sample of a talker in proximity to a second device of a different user; and   facilitating, by utilizing a server, identification of the talker in proximity to the second device of the different user by comparing the second voice sample to first voice sample and the device-specific information in the voice print.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising receiving a request from the user to opt-in to a voice identification application. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , further comprising requesting the user to register with the voice identification application after the user opts-in to the voice identification application. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising requesting access to social networking data of the user. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising soliciting contacts in a contact list of the user to solicit opt-ins from each of the contacts. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising enabling an opt-in indication from the user, wherein the opt-in indication authorizes a third party social media user to use the media platform to identify the user by detecting a voice of the user. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising presenting the identification of the talker. 
     
     
         20 . A system, comprising:
 a server that performs operations comprising:
 obtaining a first voice sample of a user and device-specific information associated with a first device utilized during a media session occurring on a media platform; 
 associating with the first voice sample and the device-specific information with a profile for the user; 
 capturing a second voice sample of a talker in proximity to a second device of a different user; and 
 facilitating identification of the talker in proximity to the second device of the different user by comparing the second voice sample to first voice sample and the device-specific information.
